Definitions
- the invention relates to a surface mount optoelectronic component.
- the component is designed to be able to serve multiple modes of illumination, top, side, and bottom, depending on the method of mounting.
- Mounting connections are provided by an inherent electrically conductive base material. No mechanical forming processes are required to produce the desired mounting connection.
- the invention is also capable of higher heat dissipation due to the thicker base material and a heat sink incorporated into the design.
- top illuminators have an illumination source on a top portion of the optoelectronic component surface
- side illuminators have a source on a side surface of the optoelectronic component. The choice depends very much on the application itself. However, each of these configurations is unique in terms of physical dimension and is not interchangeable. Customers are expected to order the specific type of configuration for their needs.
- FIG. 1A is a three-dimensional top view of the invention.
- FIG. 1B is a three-dimensional bottom view of the invention.
- FIG. 2 is a cross sectional view of the invention depicting an assembly including a base material, a plastic housing, an optoelectronic chip, and a cavity within the plastic housing, which is filled by a transparent or translucent resin material.
- FIG. 3 shows the invention mounted onto a PCB sub-system using side protrusions as a means for electrical connection.
- FIG. 4 shows the invention mounted onto a PCB sub-system, similar to FIG. 3 , but on a reverse orientation so as to provide bottom illumination.
- the present invention relates to a surface mount optoelectronic component.
- the optoelectronic component is based on surface mount technology.
- a thick, electrically conductive material ( 1 ), preferably a metal frame, is used to serve as a base material for the assembly.
- An opaque plastic material ( 2 ) is used to provide the housing for the whole component.
- a cavity ( 5 ) is designed within the plastic material.
- An optoelectronic chip ( 3 ) is mounted within this cavity. This cavity is filled with a hard transparent or translucent resin material so that optical radiation may be transmitted or received via this window. Electrical connection(s) between the optoelectronic chip ( 3 ) and the base material ( 1 ) is/are provided by a metallic wire ( 4 ).
- the base material ( 1 ) itself, typically by soldering. No extra mechanical forming processes are necessary to create the external connections.
- the base material ( 1 ) extends all the way from a middle portion of the optoelectronic component to a bottom surface ( 8 ), and to one of the side surfaces ( 7 ), ultimately extending and protruding outside the plastic package.
- the bottom surface ( 8 ) is used for connection when a top illuminator is required.
- one of the side surfaces ( 7 ) could be used for connection when the optoelectronic component is used as a side illuminator.
- the base material can also protrude to other side surfaces of the optoelectronic component, with protrusions ( 6 ) formed in the side surface of the package. These protrusions ( 6 ) act as heat sinks to improve heat dissipation from the optoelectronic component.
- the side protrusions ( 6 ) can also be used as a means of connection to external surfaces, such as PCBs, as illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4 .
- the component sits in the sub-system and can be used for either top or bottom illumination.
- This mounting configuration reduces the height profile of the optoelectronic component above the sub-system, since a portion of the optoelectronic component is below the sub-system's surface.
- the other two exposed surfaces ( 7 ) and ( 8 ) act as heat sinks when used in such mounting configuration.
- Another inherent feature of this invention is the relatively thicker base material compared to other corresponding products in the market. This, coupled with the heat sinks, greatly improves the package's ability to dissipate heat. Higher current or power can also be applied to the devices to yield better performance.
